Ameristar Casino Blackjack

The Ameristar Kansas City has a mix of six deck, two deck and one deck blackjack tables. The single deck games pay 6-5 and dealers hit on soft 17, both of which are not good for the player.

However, players may double down after splitting pairs and may resplit aces, both of which reduce the house edge.

There are over 3,000 slot machines to choose from, with betting limits ranging from one cent to $100. The Ameristar offers traditional reel slots, video slots, progressive slots and video poker machines. All of the slot machines use tickets only so you don't have to worry about lugging big buckets of change all over the place.
